ARM promises dual-core mobile phones in 2010

What
you have seen with Zune HD, might be coming in 2010 in the next generation
mobile phones. This is what ARM has shared in one of its presentations. Mobile
Client 2010 as ARM calls it, should come with Cortex-A9 dual core CPUs that can
work all the way to 2GHz, but in mobile devices they might end up clocked at more
modest speeds.

The
development process for these chips are 40nm as well as 32nm most probably both
from TSMC as Globalfoundries might not be ready for production of these chips
in 2010.

ARM
pushes for its mali 400MP graphics processors but we are sure Nvidia will use
its own Geforce graphics for its Tegra 2 core. You can expect HD video
capability as well as OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics support. The
screen of choice is WVGA AMOLED screen and this device should come
with HDMI out.
